  • (18) We report the connections of cerebellar cortical lobule HVI in the rabbit.
  • (19) It was hypothesized that pathogenic Pasteurella spp and other microorganisms in nasal secretions transfer from the nasopharynx into the lungs by draining along the tracheal floor into ventral bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli, and that pasteurella endotoxin, formed in infected lobules, thromboses and occludes lymphatics, capillaries, and veins and thereby causes ischemic necrosis.
  • (20) The effect of a preliminary hepatic washing with saline before liver fixation either by perfusion or immersion was compared to the effect of saponin, a membrane-permeabilizing agent, in order to ascertain which procedure is best to obtain a homogeneous distribution of albumin-containing hepatocytes in the hepatic lobule.

Sac


Definition:

  • (n.) See Sacs.
  • (n.) The privilege formerly enjoyed by the lord of a manor, of holding courts, trying causes, and imposing fines.
  • (n.) See 2d Sack.
  • (n.) A cavity, bag, or receptacle, usually containing fluid, and either closed, or opening into another cavity to the exterior; a sack.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Both apertures were repaired with great caution using individual sutures without resection of the hernial sac.
  • (2) Tracheal mucus transport rate (TMTR) and quantitative clearance of aerosolized Escherichia coli from the trachea, lung, and air sac were measured in healthy unanesthetized turkeys and in turkeys exposed by aerosol to a La Sota vaccine strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV).
  • (3) The wall of the yolk sac thickens as a result of this infolding and the densely packed capillaries.
  • (4) After intravenous or dorsal lymph sac injections of 3H-22:6, most of the retinal label was seen in rod photoreceptor cells.
  • (5) The buccal glands of adults of the Southern Hemisphere lamprey Geotria australis consist of a pair of small, bean-shaped, hollow sacs, embedded within the basilaris muscle in the region below the eyes and to either side of the piston cartilage.
  • (6) Ultrastructural examination of noncartilaginous regions of the tumor demonstrated mesenchymal cells with features suggestive of cartilaginous differentiation, viz, scalloped cell membranes, sac-like distension of abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum, and a matrix containing fibrillary and finely granular material.
  • (7) On the other hand, esophageal emptying of solid isotopic meals may show the persistence of food in the diverticular sac long time after the meal.
  • (8) Both genes are expressed in the fetal liver, gut, and visceral endoderm of the yolk sac and are repressed shortly after birth in the liver and gut.
  • (9) The in vitro absorption by rat jejunal and ileal gut sacs of soluble antigen-antibody complexes and of antigen alone was compared.
  • (10) In two almost identical experiments, all OTC treatment groups had significantly lower mean air sac lesion scores than the unmedicated challenged controls.
  • (11) After clusters of pigmented epithelial cells have rested immobile in the yolk sac of Blennius pholis for 2-4 days (Trinkaus, '88), their constituent cells transform into mesenchymal, dendritic melanocytes.
